Good info. But when you have a grey model, would you use a different color primer so that you know that you got those areas covered?

Aaron's shirts always give me a chuckle. Good advice, too. Here's a question. What compressor psi would you recommend for small details? Overall color? I'm still experimenting with my new adjustable compressor and use 10-12 psi for details, 20-24 psi for overall. This with Tamiya acrylics and thinner for the most part.

Those setting sound about right. The lowest I've been able to spray and get OK atomization is 8 psi, but I generally use 12-15 for details. Use the pressure you are comfortable spraying at and produces the results you are aiming for. - Aaron

Hi Paul! The FineScale Modeler Weekly shows will be back in a few weeks. We needed to get a few of the how-to videos off our plate.

I usually hit the model with air from the airbrush just before painting. Just to make sure I’ve gotten all dust and sanding residue .
@FineScaleModelermagazine Жыл бұрын
That can work. I find it works really well to remove stubborn sanding dust out of panel lines. But it isn't quite as thorough as a tack cloth or microfiber sheet to get rid of dust. Blowing it off makes it airborne and plastic is notorious for static electricity that can pull that dust right back onto the model. - Aaron

Very helpful video. Also I appreciated your mentioning the paint you used and the thinner ratio. It would be helpful to know what size needle you used in your airbrush and at what pressure you were painting. Thanks again for the helpful advice.

The needle/nozzle combination is .3mm, a good general use size. For this kind of work, I generrally spray at about 20 psi. It atomizes the paint well and still leave plenty of control. - Aaron

Nice video, although with the paint color and primer color being so similar, it was tough to see how much paint was going on the model.

New to the channel, love it by the way and spent a lot of time going over the back catalogue. So much priceless information, tips, and general entertainment for anyone into modelling, or like me, getting back into it and freaking out. Buying way too many kits (that aren't being started), but freaking out none the less! Do I notice a slight Australian accent there Aaron?

Sir, did you say "shmoots" (reference that tiny hair)? I want to be sure I pronounce and spell it correctly before I add it to my lexicon of modeling terms. lol Great video, as always, Mr. Skinner. Thanks!
